Our Leather & Process

Our leather wears in, not out. To create a product that gets better with age, we start with the highest quality leather. Bosca leather is made in Italy using primarily natural vegetable tannins. Each hide is individually hand stained with a translucent pigment for a rich coloration. This process showcases the leather’s natural characteristics. Upon completion, each hide is inspected and individually signed to ensure only the best quality.

Over a Century of Quality Leather

In 1911, a young Italian immigrant named Hugo Bosca founded our company on a foundation dedicated to originality, ingenuity, and lasting quality. Today, the Bosca family and Bosca brand remain stubbornly dedicated to these timeless values. Every detail of each product receives our full consideration from design, to engineering, and, finally, manufacturing.

18th Year of Service-Quality is Paramount

Lasted more than18 years and still looks good - very similar to the longevity of the circa 1972 coach bags which lasted forever. Bought this - I think - in the late nineties and think it is now time to go beyond basic black. Love, Love, Love these products - in a world of big-name hyper-commercial junk in which every designer seems to insist I am a billboard for their name in the largest possible letters Bosca stands alone. Will continue to purchase until such time as someone decides a gigantic red "B" is put on the front of the product. Let that never happen.

"forever clutch"

OK, let me be honest. I bought this clutch by Bosca more than 25 years ago. It is an everyday use item for me. It came in a dark navy color back then and the color has not faded and it is in great shape. The design of the coin compartment has little round ball clasps on the metal frame instead of the current version of longer, slim metal claps. The pen holder is slightly different, too, but everything else looks the same. The quality of this leather piece is unbelievable. It will just not wear out. Sure, mine has a few aging marks and a bit of the stitching around the outside corners has disappeared, but come on....25 years? The sturdiness and luxurious feel of this full-grain leather wallet, made in the USA, is absolutely fabulous. Worth every penny.

A Team You Can Trust

We’re only happy when you’re happy. Many of our customers have fallen in love with our products and have become lifelong Bosca friends. Our goal is to offer you beautiful, durable products that can withstand the impact of hectic daily life. We recognize that sometimes product questions and even the occasional problem can arise. Our hands-on team is small, knowledgeable, and committed to meeting your needs.

Why Is Bosca Worth The Price?

Every Bosca product is a work of art, handcrafted with over 100 years of experience. Our stubborn dedication to the
quality of our leather shows in every product we sell.

We use the highest quality leather
in the world.

Only about 1% of the world's leather supply meets our standards.
Learn More...We source our hides from small free-range farms in Europe. Hides with blemishes and scars need to be colored with heavy
pigments - covering the natural look and feel of the leather - so we select only the best hides to send to our tannery
in Italy. After the tanning process, we inspect the hides for a second time. Color is then applied by hand rubbing
translucent dyes into the leather - for this reason we often refer our to leather as hand-stained. We inspect again,
looking for flaws and imperfections, but also at the character and coloring of the hide to makesure each one is ideal.

We use highly skilled tanning techniques.

All leather goes through one of several types of tanning process. We use the method of vegetable tanning as opposed to
"chrome" and "synthetic" tanning processes.
Learn More...Both processes can leave harmful chemical residuals in the leather. Vegetable tanning uses tannic acids found in plants
and some fruits, giving the finished hide a more natural look. We choose vegetable tanning because the leather is
know for it's durability and strength. In addition, Veg-tanned leather is an eco-friendly sustainable material and
is free of harmful residuals. Vegetable tanning is an Old World skill that blends artistry and precision; thus it
cannot be learned overnight. Our tanning partners have three generations of artists, each passing down family recipes
only they know.

The result is a product that
wears in, not out.

The real value of a Bosca product shows itself over time. Rather than looking worn and tired it develops a warm, pleasing
patina. We regularly see products from customers that are over 20 years old and are even more beautiful than the day
we made them.
Learn More...We aren't making products that will break down and need to be replaced every two years - we want you to have it for
decades. Our products undergo extensive scrutiny. Custom hardware, fabrics, and fittings are chosen to ensure your
Bosca piece will hold up to daily use. We have every aspect of production dialed in so precisely that wecontrol the
number of stitches in each inch of stitching.

We are committed to our products
and customers.

We know that you'll
like your purchase, but we want you to
love it. That's why we offer free shipping and 100% free returns within 100 days of purchase.
Learn More...We want you to be 100% happy with your purchase, and to feel that your purchase was worth every penny. Shopping
online takes away the ability to touch and feel a product. You can't examine the quality and precision, the uniqueness
and depth of character unless the product is in front of you.
